 Introduction
Potential sources of thermal effects from
electromagnetic radiation, which surrounds us
every day, we can include electromagnetic
waves of mobile phones, microwave ovens and
Wi-Fi equipments. Analysis of thermal and
biological effects of electromagnetic fields is
dedicated to a lot of attention and research
activities. Part of results from this area is
described in the documents
[1-7]. The research
of harmfulness of electromagnetic heating
food in microwave ovens was realized on the
Institute of biochemistry and environment in
Switzerland [8]. Research and study of the
impact of electromagnetic radiation from the
antennas of mobile operators to the population
of white stork is also described in article [9].

In the conclusions of this research is described
that, nests population productivity which are
located within 200 meters from the mobile
operator transmitter was twice less than in
nests in the distance more than 300 meters
from the transmitter. The ability of plants to
react to surrounding changes is very important
for them because very often they cannot

change location. During the evolution in their

organisms has been the effective mechanisms
developed to ensure their survival. It was
caused by the fact that plants not able to move.
About the plants we use the term neuronal
systems, not as by humans and animals, where
we call the system as the nervous. The word
“neuron” originated from ancient Greek and
means “vegetable fiber” [10].

 The ability of plants to react to
surrounding changes is very important
for them because very often they cannot
change location. During the evolution in
their organisms has been the effective
mechanisms developed to ensure their
survival. It was caused by the fact that
plants not able to move. About the plants
we use the term neuronal systems, not as
by humans and animals, where we call

the system as the nervous. The word

“neuron” originated from ancient Greek
and means “vegetable fiber” [10].During
the following 12 days received both plants
the same measured amount of water at
the same time. The prepared bowls with
seeds in the beginning of experiment are
shown in Figure 1. Weight of both bowls
was 115 g.

 Results
During the experiment we weighed
the bowls on the digital weight, in the
first, third, fifth, tenth and twelfth
day. Changes in plant growth are
documented in the following figures.
Figure 2 presents the third day, Figure
3 fifth day, Figure 4 tenth day and
Figure 5 twelfth day of the

experiment.

Fig 2. Third Day Fig 3. Fifth Day

Fig 4.Tenth Day Fig 5.Twelth Day

To day fifth of the experiment, the plants showed of
small differences of germination and growth. After the
fifth day, a large part of seeds placed near the Wi-Fi
router has not germinated. Many of these seeds were
dead and had dark color, which was significantly
different from the seeds in the second bowl. The
germinating sprouts near wireless router were shorter
and weaker. On the tenth day of the experiment plants
near to the Wi-Fi router, which germinated, had
problem with growth and their length has not changed.

Also, it was reduced water intake
of these plants and was weighed
the significant weight difference
between the first and second
sample. The differences of the
measured weights of the two
bowls during the experiment are

shown in Table 1 and Figure 6.

On the last twelfth day, garden
cress outside electromagnetic
radiation (sample A) was visually
vital and had clearly green color.
Sample B was withered and the
vegetation was less dense as by
the sample A

 Conclusion

Microwaves from Wi-Fi devices are characterized by its

thermal effects. Microwave electromagnetic
fields are absorbed in the materials containing water, into
heat. To the largest absorbers of microwave
electromagnetic radiation include cactuses and succulents in
general. Effect of Wi-Fi radiation on plants
is influenced by several basic factors:
≡ Thermal effects of electromagnetic field are directly
dependent on the frequency of waves, which

means that with increasing frequency grows thermal effect

on living organisms.
≡ Total amount of received thermal energy depend on the
water content contained in the vegetable
fibers. Water content determines the electrical properties.
≡ Surface area of vegetable fibers that is exposed to
microwave radiation.
≡ Electric field strength.
If the amount of thermal energy is more than the plant can
absorb, may occur to thermal overload of
plant organs and the whole organism.

 The influence of high-frequency electromagnetic
field due to the
internal temperature increase of plants can cause the
physiological and metabolic changes that influence
their growth. Adverse changes in the green part of
the planet may lead to ecosystem changes. With
effect
of Wi-Fi radiation and other electromagnetic
microwave radiation we cannot these changes
exclude.

The experiment has demonstrated the negative

effects of Wi-Fi radiation on the plants of garden
cress,
but for the confirmation of that argument will be
necessary to repeat this experiment. The result was
the slowing of plants growth, physiological and
metabolic changes and genetic mutations that can
lead
to death of the plants. It is therefore necessary to
continue research this issue, to be able to more
accurately describe the changes in plants caused by
high-frequency electromagnetic fields.
